200m shares in issue...
100,000 treatments per month at £2500 per treatment course.
Monthly sales £250m per month (75% profit margin = £142m profit per month).
Annual sales of £3bn (75% profit margin = £1.7bn).
On 5 x earnings (which is lowball imo) that gets us to c.£8.5bn (assume £2000 per treatment course and you get £6.8bn)
So, my conclusion is that an offer of £7bn is not that difficult to achieve in the medium term...assuming solid P3 trial results, FDA approval, followed by UK MRHA approval...then anywhere else that wants to approve/out licensing).
Imagine:
1. If capacity doubled to 200,000 treatment courses....still plenty of money to be made for big pharma
2. COPD is not included in these calculations (worth £5 per share).
3. SNG will have the money to fund COPD P3 trials without further dilution
I appreciate that these heady heights are difficult to fathom....but there is a lot of water to tread before we get to these levels. Big pharma want treatments that are ready to go and add instant value. They don't want expensive trials and the work and energy involved to get products to market. They are willing to pay big money for the pleasure of this.
Lets get to £2.00, then 4.50, then £10.00 before we get carried away with the big money. But, it is possible in my opinion.
If we get there, I will be retiring before 50....so good luck everyone.
